President asks outraged: "What are you doing boy?"
Boy: "A lawyer!"
Wouldn't "What are you making..." make more sense? As it is, it's comical, but perhaps not for the reason that you intended! [/b][/quote]
You're right - it would make more sense, but I was just quickly translating it into english - and there is an ambiguous verb that's used here that means both doing/making (should have payed more attention).
